It is said that the p-p-p-powerbook guy disappeared some time after, but I could never verify it.

Overall though, I think the danger is pretty low, assuming you do not reveal your identity at any point.

Sadly perhaps but I know people that if I give them an email address they can turn that into an actual person + personal details. Not cheaply but they are scarily good at it. One of the side effects of no privacy / tracking etc etc is this.
